VN2460
N-Channel Enhancement-Mode
Vertical DMOS FETs
Features
General Description
► Free from secondary breakdown
► Low power drive requirement
► Ease of paralleling
► Low CISS and fast switching speeds
► Excellent thermal stability
► Integral source-drain diode
This enhancement-mode (normally-off) transistor utilizes a
vertical DMOS structure and Supertex’s well-proven silicon-gate
manufacturing process. This combination produces a device with
the power handling capabilities of bipolar transistors and with
the high input impedance and positive temperature coefficient
inherent in MOS devices. Characteristic of all MOS structures,
this device is free from thermal runaway and thermally induced
secondary breakdown.
► High input impedance and high gain
Applications
Supertex’s vertical DMOS FETs are ideally suited to a wide range
of switching and amplifying applications where high breakdown
voltage, high input impedance, low input capacitance, and fast
switching speeds are desired.
► Motor controls
► Converters
► Amplifiers
► Switches
► Power supply circuits
► Drivers (relays, hammers, solenoids, lamps,
memories, displays, bipolar transistors, etc.)
